MOM customer featured on Wisconsin Life
As told by Wisconsin Life, produced by WPR, "With the holiday giving season over, donations to area food pantries are dropping off - making life harder for folks who are already struggling. That weekly bag of free groceries can make all the difference - especially in this economy. Today, we visit a food pantry run by the Middleton Outreach Ministry, and meet one of their customers."
The Strength of MOM
It is with mixed feelings that I am saying goodbye to MOM. In March I'll be heading just a couple of miles down the road to Catholic Charities, where I will be their Vice President. It is the perfect collision of opportunity and my faith, the very thing that led me down this path to a new life of service years ago when I made the biggest career change of my life.
I want to thank you for the support that you have provided MOM, me and my family for the past two years. I feel good knowing that MOM is on an extremely upward path. MOM's Board of Directors and exceptional staff is stronger than ever and together with all of you, they are ready to make 2012 the best year yet. With a strategic plan in place and a strong financial position, they will implement programs that will continue to Prevent Homelessness and End Hunger in this community for years to come.
I will stay on with MOM until the beginning of March. The process is already underway to find a new leader that will continue to move MOM in a strong, forward direction.
Thank you for all you do for this community. Your commitment to MOM and our clients is vital to the strength of MOM and I can't thank you enough for your hard work and energy. Working along side you has been an honor, and I look forward to continuing to serve with you in this community as we work to strengthen and give hope to our neighbors.

Food bags help youth over winter break
Over winter break, many children and youth who rely on the school's free and reduced meals to fill their stomachs and feed their brains will be without that important resource. With cupboards and refrigerators being empty of food, many students and families will be awaiting the return of school more than others. Read more on our blog.

Growing Community
"It's empowering to know that you can do something on your own, and not to be beholden to the grocery store or the food pantry. I think everyone should be able to take part in community gardening. It allows you to grow, be part of a community, think about food and where it comes from," says Jessica, a first-year client gardener.
